CCISD investigating claims a substitute teacher struck a Carroll High School student

CORPUS CHRISTI - The Corpus Christi Independent School District is investigating a claim a substitute teacher struck a student Friday afternoon.

District officials had few details late Friday on the Carroll High School student’s allegation.

The incident was reported about 2 p.m. and district police attempted to speak with the student’s parents Friday afternoon, district spokeswoman Lorette Williams said. She did not have the teacher’s name or any further details about the allegation.

“We take these allegations extremely seriously,” she said. “Our next step is to conduct thorough interviews just like we do in any investigation.”

No action has been taken against the teacher as the district continues to investigate, Williams said.
